tire revs per mile
I went to a 295/70/17 tire, discount tire says diameter is 33.26, circumference is 104.49,and revs is 625.38. My calcs. say 606.37 revs.
I need somebody to check my math. I am recalibrating my speedo. with my XCAL2. Thanks

My guess is that the diameter and circumference is at a no-load state with maximum rated air pressure.
The circumference would be less under load which translates into greater revolutions per mile. Purely conjecture on my part, though.
